Well, the car shouldn't be parked on the pavement anyway; the Royal Mail shouldn't have to accommodate stupidity like that.

Nothing to stop them parking on the pavement though, that car is parked perfectly legally

Unless they're in London, where they can be fined £70 for partially or wholly parking on the pavement or kerb. I think they're considering making it nationwide, as well. The highway code advises that you do not park on the pavement anywhere, but yeah it's not illegal outside the capital.

If it was made nationwide no one is parking in my entire estate. Tiny narrow roads, you can't park cars along side the kerb, if its not half on the pavement no one except Micra drivers are getting through and bigger trucks / ambulances / whatever are definitely not getting through.
